Today’s presentation • Acknowledgements
• Objectives
• Background for the policy on research for health in Latin America
• The Regional Policy on Research for Health – Objectives with emphasis on governance and impact
• Tools for better research management
• Building successful bridges between users and producers of research
www.paho.org/portalinvestigacion It is precisely because we have very limited resources that we need more and better
research; we need to choose wisely. It is precisely because we have such limited
resources that we need to be organized with our research; we need to make the
most of what is available

Governance: clinical trials
What is a clinical trial?
• For the purposes of registration, a clinical trial is any
research study that prospectively assigns human
participants or groups of humans to one or more health-
related interventions to evaluate the effects on health
outcomes.
What is trial registration?
• WHO regards trial registration as the publication of an
internationally-agreed set of information about the design,
conduct and administration of clinical trials. These details
are published on a publicly-accessible website managed by
a registry conforming to WHO standards.
